That's the thing- right now people have 3 options if they aren't stopping in Calgary:

- 16th ave through the city. Direct but slow speeds and traffic lights.
- Stoney Trail NE/NW. Faster speeds but adds 20 km to the trip
- Hwy 901/22X/22 bypass. Adds only 12 km over 16th ave and is faster speeds; but a lot of 2 lane highway.

If the SW leg is done through the reserve, then they can work on twinning Hwy 901. That will give a proper bypass that doesn't add any distance to the trip. If nothing else, even with Hwy 901 as it is, that is a pretty easy stretch of 2 lane road; lots of room to pass and very few hills to deal with.
